Wayne Phones Home

Drake now talks about a conversation he had with Lil Wayne, who is incarcerated at Rikers Island.

Drake Summarizes What Lil Wayne Said...
"To him, there's a whole world moving out there that he hasn't seen for so long. He was just like, he told me something I never thought I'd hear him say, which was, 'You're the ultimate artist. You're better than me. You don't have the tattoos, you don't cause any trouble. People like you.' He was like, basically, 'Look at me and look at you.' He was like, 'Man, listen. You know what I think you're about to do? You're about to do 2 million.'You're about to do two million the first week. Whatever, man, whatever you do, do not get no tattoos never in your life. They gonna think you got it because you came around me.' He said the same thing to me [during the Rikers visit]: 'Don't change yourself, please. You got it. I've never met a young dude that has it figured out, but you got it. Don't mess it up. Just be you. Sing! Rap! Be you. Don't stop smiling.' That's what he said." (MTV)


People think they know everything about Lil Wayne, but they don't. Everybody idolizes, what they hate and in reality they began to hate themselves. I believe many people, opionate so much on other people's lives because their life is not as interesting as they want it to be. In this quote, Lil Wayne is basically telling Drake, don't change for anybody (including me) and you're going to be one of the biggest stars. If you listen to some of Drake's song lyrics, he expresses feeling lonely, even when surrounded by everyone. I look at this quote and think Blood couldn't make them closer.
